Phishing scam on Twitter

twitterbirdThis weekend people had a direct message or direct message email notification from someone with a clone twitter site. It was going to twitter.access-logins.com/login. I think people need to look closer at what the they are doing. Here is what Twitter is saying about the scam “This particular scam sent out emails resembling those you might receive from Twitter if you get email notifications of your Direct Messages. The email says something like, “hey! check out this funny blog about you…” and provides a link. That link redirects to a site masquerading as the Twitter front page.”. If you receive this type of message don’t click on it. If you clicked on this link and put in your password you should go right to twitter and change your password. We don’t need more of this going around.
